Answer:

The correct answer option is c. that you stop at the store.

Step-by-step explanation:

A clause or group of words which do not form a complete sentence by making sense on their own is said to be dependent clause.

A dependent clause contains a subject and a verb but still does not expresses a complete thought.

Here in the given example, 'that you stop at the store' is the dependent clause because it does not convey a complete idea or thought.
